Flag Football

Jesse made the school's football team this year.
His Jr. high plays flag football and after breaking his wrist, I don't think Jesse was ready to go back to full contact.

Our game time set-up! We're ready.

There he is #21. He is the starting Tight end.

4th of July!

While Jesse spent his 4th of July in Bayfield, WI.
The rest of us suffered through the heat and hid indoors until the sun set.
Then it was time for fireworks!

Getting hydrated first it is really HOT outside.






Hope you all had a safe and Happy 4th of July.

Mother's Day!

Mother's day is a bittersweet holiday for me.
I have 2 wonderful girlers and a fantastic stepson. Even with all that love I still have an empty spot in my heart that belongs to my own mother.
I miss her every day and I wish she could see how wonderful my children are.
I know that she lives on through me and my girlers.

Ok.. that being said.. I did have a very lovely Mother's Day!

It started with breakfast in bed.

Then a visit to Nana Virginia's house.
This is such a nice picture of Ceasar and his mother.

A picture of me and my kiddos.
I am a lucky mama.


Happy Mother's Day!

Give A Day. Get A Disney Day.

Our family LOVES Disney! Disney movies, Disney Shows and Disneyland!
Taking our family of 5 to Disneyland is not a cheap thing to do.
This year the park, in the hopes of inspiring volunteerism, offered a free ticket to any Disney park in return for a day of community service.
That was an opportunity our family could not pass up! So Ceasar sighed us up.
Only Me, Ceasar & Jesse were of age to participate
Gardening at Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery was our task

Me and Jesse hard at work pulling weeds.
Jesse lending a hand.
For a teenager he was surprisingly helpful and didn't complain the entire day.

Keeping the momentum going!

Taking a break.

Finished!


They use no pesticides in that garden and with all the rain we have had the weeds were out if control.
They grow vegetables there and the food is harvested by volunteers and distributed to the homeless.

I was posed the question, "If you are getting a free ticket to Disneyland is it really volunteering?" After spending a day helping this is my answer.
Most definitely. Most of the families out there worked hard. We all learned about our community and plan on returning and helping this organization again.
It was nice to feel and be a part of my community and help those who need it.
